NOT OVER: 25 Years of Visual AIDS, 2013, curated by Sur Rodney (Sur) and Kris Nuzzi for Visual AIDS. The exhibition looked back at the history of Visual AIDS and contemporary AIDS politics to create a glimpse into a quarter century of AIDS, art and activism, linking artists of a generation born after 1970 to an earlier generation of artists that were active in the 1980s.By creating these layered connections and presenting artwork by both historical and contemporary artists, the exhibition aimed to add to the ongoing dialogue and position the work within a layered timeline of AIDS, art and culture, using art as a means to educate, encourage discussion and inform that AIDS IS NOT OVER.Artists include: Albert J. Winn, Aldrin Valdez, Andreas Senser (1942-1989), Arch Connelly (1950-1993), Barton Lidice Benes (1942-2012), Bern Boyle (1951-1992), Bizzy and Devon Gallegos, Brian Weil (1951-1999), Camilo Godoy, Carlo Quispe, Charlie Ahearn, Chloe Dzubilo (1960-2011), Charles Ryan, Copy Berg (1951-1999), Daniel McKernan, Edith Alverez, Eric Rhein, Ethan Shoshan, Frank Moore (1953-2002), Harvey Weiss and Marc Happel, Derek Jackson and Hi Tiger, Hugh Steers (1963-1995), Hunter Reynolds, Hayat Hyatt, J.

DON'T WORRY WHAT HAPPENS HAPPENS MOSTLY WITHOUT YOU, 2012, Radiator Gallery, curated by Kris Nuzzi, an exhibition that explores the personal identities of artists Jeanie Choi, Camilo Godoy, Ted Kerr, James Richards, Aldrin Valdez and Sam Vernon, as they navigate through a world shaped by experiences of marginalization, silencing and difference. Whether speaking from their own life, recreating a historical memory or representing an underrepresented community, their work explores poetic and subtle ways to communicate issues of immigration, race, queerness and desire. Together they reveal the connections and differences between these loaded social issues and invite the viewer to share in their intimate experiences. INFO

WHERE ARE WE FROM? , 2009, Curated by Gabe Wong at The Artery. My contribution was this poster, which included the quote: “The twentieth century will be remembered chiefly, not as an age of political conflicts and technical inventions, but as an age in which human society dared to think of the health of the whole human race as a practical objective.”―Arnold Toynbee
This is How we Made Love, 2009, CONTACT Photography Festival, ACT (AIDS Committee of Toronto): an exhibition about two men growing apart before they grow together. The collection of Polaroids, camera-phone images, digital and film photographs reflected a summer of shared yet separate explorations into personal progress and social change. The photographs revealed two people maintaining intimacy without discarding their individuality. The exhibit was made possible in part by HIV Edmonton and the AIDS Committee of Toronto. A self published book was made at the same time.
EDMONTON: EXPLORED, 2008, Curated by Amy Fung for the Art Gallery of Alberta. In the exhibition that looked at life in Edmonton I had a work called, "Towards Seeing Everything." The work came from a grant I got from the City of Edmonton for a project in which I worked with an organization called CHANGING TOGETHER and my friend Kathy Ochoa. We took polaroids of women in Edmonton asking them about the roles they play in the city. MORE INFO
